Dara: I’m Thankful For – Day 11

No one really understands what its like to be an only child, except for only children. It’s not a bad thing, it just gets a little lonely sometimes. Because of that I’m SO thankful that Mike has two great sisters that have become my sisters over the past 8+ years. Especially Shannon. We’ve grown so close, and even though we don’t talk as much anymore I know that bond is still there and that we’ll be in each others lives for decades to come. Sebastian was an added bonus. He’s hilarious and is a great “brother” to Mike. Harper is the most incredible gift they could have given the Ferrante/Dierks family. She’s adorable, intelligent and full of energy (wonder where she gets that!?!?). We all anxiously awaited her arrival and all really enjoy watching her grow into this beautiful little girl. So today, I’m thankful that I have an incredible sister, brother and niece in my life. (they really need to get a new family picture!)
